Nightmares On Wax · 1 likes

3/5

Not sure why there is so many extremely low scores and reviews for this album. It's really enjoyable, great beats and extremely creative. That being said it did drag on after a while. The album feels way too long, several songs were super drawn out, and I'm unsure how it qualifies as an album you should hear before you die. It's good, but I'm failing to understand how it is considered to be THAT good. Because it's really not.

It was alright. Lots of radio hits. Many of the ballads began to sound the exact same. Defiantly prefer her earlier work.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Some amazing guitar work and harmonization, everything else is sorta mid.

Not sure why this album is on the list. Below mid, especially compared to the other XX albums.

One World

John Martyn

1/5

Another album I tired really hard to enjoy, but could not. This album actually sucked.

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

Yeah it bangs. One star taken away because Tom Morello can belt out an insane riff but has no clue what the hell a gutar solo is supposed to sound like

Mothership Connection

Parliament

George Clinton is a genius. Out of this world.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

Another mid UK rock/alt album. I'm sure it was progressive and influential for its time, but it was a miss for me.

Peter Gabriel

2/5

It was pretty meh. Feel like I have poor taste because I didn't enjoy it, but I really didn't.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

2/5

Maybe it's me, but this is yet another album I don't understand why is on this list.

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

1/5

Bro never have I rated this many albums so low in a row. Did not enjoy this at all. I might be the problem.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

1/5

I hate to say it but I didn't enjoy it at all. Whole album just sucked. It may be my poor taste but I really wanted it to end the whole time. Harmonica carried.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

2/5

I mean it's alright. Some moments were ethereal, many others were mid. Pretty whatever overall. Goldbrapp

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Really enjoyed it. Beautiful post rock that made me feel like I was either lost at sea but at peace with that, walking through Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, or simply drifting though space. Great listen.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

Enjoyed it more than I thought i would. Some great classic/blusey rock.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Queen. Goddess. One of the greatest albums of all time, as well as in soul/R&B. My Queen killed it with this one. I smiled like crazy when I saw this album pop up for today. Wish every day had an album of this caliber.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

2/5

I feel bad for every individual that was on an instrument for this album. They put their heart and soul into their music, just for Alex to start vocalizing about his penis and balls. Basically the instrumentation is great, but every song being an innuendo or just strait up (no pun intended) about his pentus kinda killed the vibe. Don't get me wrong I think it's funny, and I'd really enjoy it as a meme. But it's deadass on this list, and that's what is truly confusing.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Really enjoyed it. Fun album.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

I mean it's alright. I remember this album hitting harder when I was a kid. Maybe my tastes have changed, or maybe the album is just dated. The beats still bang, but the lyrics and lyrical performance feels lacking somehow.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Awesome album. For some reason I couldn't get the ATHF characters Master Shake and Carl out of my head while listening, this just seems like an album they would both love. But yeah this album fucks.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

2/5

Amazing voice, just not for me.

Tical

Method Man

2/5

Unk rap. Really though it was extremely mid. Not a huge fan of MM's voice, flow or delivery overall. There's much better solo projects from Wu-Tang members.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

4/5

Them kats were cookn. Some great blues. Essential? Nah. But still really good music

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Made me feel like a gnome tending to my garden. Cool album.

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

3/5

Enjoyed it more than I expected. Even so, got pretty repetitive.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

2/5

I'm sorry auntie, but this album has a lot of misses. Some great beats and tracks, but mostly filler/meh tracks. Absolutely fucks as a debut album though. Wish it held up better with time.

Sounds like what whipped chocolate icing tastes like. Gets a little repetitive though.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

Classic, but damn is it bloated

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

I miss when life sounded like this album. Life used to be so simple, even with the angst, life was so full of optimism and excitement for the future. Life is still cool and all now but this album reminded me how much I took my "younger youth" for granted.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

1/5

Unequivocally one of the albums of all time.

Who's Next

The Who
